What are the optional settings available for every question?

There are three optional settings available for every question:

1. Show Go Back button, which allows respondents to return to the previous question.
2. Force respondents to stay on this question for a certain duration to ensure that respondents properly consider the question and choices.
3. Display this question if…, which only shows the question to respondents if the specified conditions are met.

How to set up screening logic?

Simple screen out criteria can be set up using the screen out feature on multiple choice questions. For more advanced screen out logic, use survey flow controls.

How do sorting options for questions with items work?

Sorting options determine the order in which items appear to participants in certain question types. These options are available as:

• Order of options for multiple choice, dropdown menu, ranking, and star rating grid questions.
• Order of rows for constant sum questions.
• Order of cards for set of swipe cards questions.
• Order of rows and columns for matrix grid questions.

The available sorting options are:

• Fixed: Items appear in the exact order you set. All participants see the same order.
• Random: Items appear in a randomised order. Each participant may see a different sequence.
• Flip:
  • Top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top: Reverses the vertical sequence.
  • Left-to-right and right-to-left: Reverses the horizontal sequence.
• Alphabetical: Items appear in alphabetical order based on text content.
• Rotate: Items are presented starting from a random position while maintaining their relative order. For example, if your original order is A-B-C-D, participants might see items in A-B-C-D, B-C-D-A, C-D-A-B, or D-A-B-C order.

Please note:

• The None of the above option always appears last, and Other appears before None of the above or as the last option.
• Sorting options only affect how items are displayed to participants and do not impact analyses or data exports.
